A Relief Corps.

Mrs. Mary E. Tilford, of Denver, presi-
dent of the Woman's Relief Corps, of
Colorado, is in Cheyenne, with the view
of organizing a branch relief corps at this
place, and to that end was interviewing
some of the Cheyenne ladies yesterday.
1t is somewhat doubtful, however, wheth-
er the movement to organize a relief corps
here will be successful or not, for most of
the Grand Army men fail to see any rea-
sen whatever for having a relief corps and
do not feel disposed to encourage their
wives, daughters, etc, to interest them
selves in the matter.

Copied from a Portrait 23O Years Old.
 When Elihu Yale founded that time hon. ored institution of learning, Yale College, he struck blow at ignorance that has rever- berated for more than two centuries through out the length and breadth of the land, and placed his name in the foremost rank of Americas public benefactors. But greater soourge than ignorance is now running rampant in our midst. Do you know what ails you when you have dull headache; no appetite; nothing tastes good that you eat; specks pass before your eyes; low spirits; an irritable and peevish temper; bowels con- stipated; an appearance of red or white brick dust in the urine; tired feeling and don't know what ails you? You have fallen a victim to that modern scourge, MdEorao. Nothing on this earth will tone you up so quickly and arrest the progress of Malaria as Lewis Red Jacket Bitters, the only sure cure for Dumb Ague, Chills and Fever, and all forms of Malaria Don't wait till you are on your back but begin at once the use of Tewis' Red Jacket Bitters.
